SUMNER IN THE FAR NORTH.

When we reached st. Michael's the
weather was very sultry and close. The
hills and lowlands were covered with an
emerad-green carpet of moss, plentifully
sprinkled with bright-hued flowers. The
familiar buttercup and blossoms of wild
BURBERRY, with the dainty pink flower
of the Arctic salmon berry stud the
heavy bed of splagnum. Mosquitoes
innumerable assail visitor as he lands
on the shore, and their bites are vicious.
The dogs lie painting before the tents of
their owners, resting easily until
strange canine intrudes, and then spring
upon him with fury that seems utterly
at variance with their former torpidity.
At ST. Michaels in the summer the ma
tiyes gather from all parts of Norton
sound. and the Upper Yukon Indians,
termed Ingaliks, come on the trading
steamers as crews to assist in navigating
the barge. One of the peculiarities of an
Arctic summer consists in the utter alb
sence of darkness, and the natives do not
appear to utilize any considerable portion
of time in Sleep At St. Michael's and
Port Clarence we saw them talking and
playing at all hours, and as / write, at 2
a. M. the decks of the ship are almost as
fully occupied as if it were high noon.
There are many persons who have stated
that these natives of northwestern Alas
ka are gifted with thievish propensties,
but the general experience of close OBJ
servers indicates that sailors on the whal-
ers steal from the natives and they re-
taliate. From those Americans who live
in this country we learn that the natives
seldom steal anything from the trading
posts.-[ Alaska Letter in San Francisco

"There is great excitement on the place
when COW loses her cud, ;" said the old
farmer. ''Tbe boys run as fast as they
can for the COW doctor, and we all turn
to and get things ready for him. The
COW stands with her head down and neck
stretched out, and is altogether the most
woe begone animal you ever saw"
"What will happen il she doesn't find
the cud ?"
"She will starve to death. You see q
COW has four stomachs, and what she
eats through the day goes into the first
one And at night she brings up some
of the food from the first stomach and
masticates it. This is called chewing the
cud., After she has done this, it goes to
the second stomach and is digested. If
she loses her cud, she can't pass the food
from the first stomach to the second, and
is bound to starve,
When the doctor arrives he slaps the
cows sides, twists her tail and looks in
her mouth. Then he calls for piece of
salt Goldfish and puts it in her mouth. If
that fails to bring the cud he rubs her
throat and calls for slippery elm. He
puts a wad of it into her jaw and tries to
get her to chew. That failing, he tries a
bunch of grass and a wad of willow
leaves. If all fail, live frog is brought
and started down the cows throat. This
never fails. The COW gives heave when
the frog tickles her windpipe, and up
come frog and cud. New York Mail

TEXAS'S CAPITOL.

The history of the State capitol of
Texas. which will probably be ready for
occupancy next May, is somewhat in
teresting. About twelve years ago the
agitation for new capitol began, and the
State Legislature set apart :, 900, 900 acres
of land in the northwestern part OF the
State, which it offered to give to any one
who would bind himself to erect a build
ing of specified size and character. A
syndicate of Chicago capitalists, of which
United States Senator Farwell is a men,
Der, finally accepted the offer. When the
State reservation was surveyed the land
was not supposed to be worth more than
fifty cents an acre. On this basis the es-
Inmates for the capitol were made, and
the builders were bound by cast-iron
agreements to erect just such building
as the STATE desired for 81 800, 600. They
soon found. however. that million and
half dollars would not nearly cover the
cost of the contemplated structure; but
they decided to erect building which

trusting to realize handsome profit from
the increased value of the land. Nor will
they be disappointed. Most of their land
to-day it is said could be sold fol- two
dollars an acre, but as the prospective
owners are not in need of money they are
holding it until it reaches higher figure
still. The new capitol is "A commanding
and beautiful building of Texas granite,
second in size only to the national capitol
at Washington. Its cornerstone is a
magnificent block of granite weighing
eight tons. The dedication of this great
building is to take place some time next
spring.-rNew York Tribune.

Cowardice of Carnivorous Animals.

The prevalent idea entertained by those
not familiar with the real nature of our large
carnivorous quadrupeds, believing their in
stinctive ferocity impels them to assault
every person they meet, is not sustained by
practical experience. Those animals appear
much more formidable in the distance than
when approached in their native wilds
But few eastern sportsmen would, il is be-
lieved, voluntarily attack bear, wolf or
panther, yet l have seen and killed many of
those animals, and not one of them ever
turned upon me. And in further corrobora-
ton of this, my guide, Little Bat" who has
during his lifetime killed over eighty griz-
lilies assured me that all he ever met with in
variably ran from him.
So confident was he of his ability to cope
with these much dreaded monsters that he did
not hesitate to hunt them when alone and on
foot, and only two years ago he encountered
four grizzlies eating a dead elk upon Casper
mountains, when he crawled to within short
rifle range and shot every one of them with
out moving from his tracks and upon another
occasion, while we were hunting in the valley
of the Big Horn, he went out alone during a
moonlight night and shot two grizzlies from
| behind tree.
Panthers and wolves are most arrant cow
ards, and the traditional story of Gen. Put
nam having performed an extraordinary feat
of courage, by entering cave and shooting
wolf, is supremacy laughable when con-
trasted with the fact that my wife, upon one
occasion, in the night time at frontier post,
when large black wolf had purloined one OF
her turkeys and was dragging it off, hurried
out with a stick and made him drop the bird
and run away.-Brig. Gen. Randolph b.
Marcy in Outing.

STEVENSON IN NEW YORK,

Mr.. Robert Louis Stevenson is now in
New York spending weary days and
nights in the ''mattress grave" to which
Hene was condemned in his later years.
Mr.. Stevenson is, fortunately. not in so
bad plight. He has none of the OPP
timism which is one of the saddest of
symptoms i'm the consumptive, and / do
not know that his malady is consumption.
Nor can find that any one else does.
Years ago, when Mr.. Stevenson was in
San Francisco. he had "A bad cough, but
nv informant was by no means of the
opinion that it was consumption, but
rather one of the chest troubles which
hypochondria magnities; but Mr.. Steven
son is far, very far from being hypo-
chondrac. His work is wonderful, but
his personality is more wonderful still.
4 friend in New York, of wide literary
acquaintance, tells me that the author of
"Treasure island is the most interesting
man and the most brilliant talker he ever
met. And this impression genius can
make in bed with two thin hands, 'more
sensitive and beautiful than any woman's"
on the coverlet. Another friend, after
spending some time with him, writes me
of the great novelist He is in bed, poor
fellow, but full of life, humor, subtlety,
curiosity, and genial spirit"
This is as one would like to have it of
the author of the ''New Arabian Nights"
and like, also, to know that attention
and appreciation ale both sweet to Mr..
Stevenson after frosty years in which he
knocked with bruised hands at the doors
now open so wide, and he no longer in
walking trim.
His articles were rejected in turn by
every paper in San Francisco and many
East, one or two of which have since
spent a pretty fair column rate in tele-
grams and cables asking for his work.
Nor were the papers alone blind to nun
at start. 1t was his lot to be rejected by
very large magazines. This was, fear,
true of the magazine which is, of all
others, the quickest to recognize new
merit-the Century. Sketches of his life
mention that he once held place in the
office of the Century, which he left or
| lost-which? 1t would be interesting to
know of the hap which separated the
most brilliant prose writer of his day
from the most enterprising of magazines.
His plans for the winter are still indeti-
mite Open air is the prescription of his
physicians, and since his return from
Newport Mr.. stevenson has been in the
Adirondacks, to find some place in which
outdoor life and comfort can be COM
bined. Philadelphia Press.

The Heated Term.

The advent OF the long sultry days OF
summer is, never welcome to those who
by nature or eircumita noes are forced to
endure the discomforts, that the heated
season entails. In the crowded cities,
where in addition to the high tempera-
ture, tho atmosphere is often impregna-
ted with poisonous elements, and good,
pure water is so hard to procure, the
greatest inconvenience and suffering are
experienced, but everywhere the season
brings its trials, its dangers and its bur
dens, Of course it would be uureasona-
BILE to rebel, at this wise provision OF
Providence, for such weather is essential
to the maturity Of the fruits and the
crops. The wisest course is to fit cur
selves to bear what we cannot we'll es-
cape. in the best manner possible. This
we can do by dismissing The anxious
cares, that fret and annoy Us, and make
ourselves az comfortable as our means
will permit Fortunate are those whose
circumstances and occupations are such
that they cnn leave their desks and bust
ness. and seek refreshment in some
health giving and strength renewing
cline The practice in the cities OF
taking amid summer holiday, has now
become so general, that it is regarded as
Que of the necessities Of life. Those
who have country homes where they can
seek repose, enjoy the grateful shade,
and revel in sweet ripe vegetables and
fruits, have no cause for murmuring, nor
can they find greater comfort and salts
faction even at the most fashionable
pleasure resorts Persons W o spend
their lives in the country, and whose
work is on the farm, can console them
selves with the thought, that after few
days more Of busy work, comparative
ly leisure season will begin when they
too can seek their own personal comfort
aud pleasure One of the greatest bless
ings of an agricultural life is, that it
not only affords a variety Of healthy
work, but it has its seasons Of compare
tive rest and leisure, and those engaged
in it, no matter how poor, are excluded
from the miiseries that affiict the thous-
ands who are crowded together in the
cities. ..'''' - -" '.-.''- -'
